time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of 
which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the 
risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for 
the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and

The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
rectly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy 
expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, 
in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention 
of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible 
for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper 
foundation.

days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be returned, if 
the lot in any material manner differs from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be written and 
given with such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding.

should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists 
of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume 
or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is 
unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference sub- 
mitted. Shipping directions should also be given.

The bridge crosses the picture in the middle distance, a high light 
accenting its tall arches just before the structure passes from 
view behind thick trees of a point of the shore in the foreground 
on the left. The trees are touched with brilliant red. The rip- 
pling river is a mirror of reflections, and a sail is seen near the 
bridge. Beyond is a further point of the shore, thickly wooded.

565—On a CANnaL 


A spontaneous sketch done for the artist’s delight in the color and 
the contrasts of light offered. The location doesn’t count, but it 
seems to be a boat-yard in Venice. An open-ended gray-brown 
shed with a reddish-brown roof houses a boat on ways, and in a 
canal alongside are other boats, this quarter in partial shadow; 
while beyond, the sunlight strikes brightly upon a low white bridge, 
and on buildings that show terra cotta, red and green.

LANDSCAPE 

Moonlight from a white full moon struggling through white clouds 
and just visible over a wooded hilltop is beginning to lighten a 
peaceful country landscape. The wooded hill in the center gives 
place on the left to rolling land where thatch-roofed farm build- 
ings stand, and on the right its flank is partly cleared, while at its 
foot in the foreground is a pond with ducks. Apparently a French 
landscape, suggesting those of Michel.

Clad in buff, with scarlet sickens a bright yellow sash and long- 
legged boots, a jaunty cavalier stands facing the observer and en- 
gaged in the act of lighting a long-stemmed clay pipe and blow- 
ing a lusty cloud of smoke. His hair falls in long curls of ma- 
hogany color to his shoulders, and he wears a broad, loose white 
collar and white cuffs. The walls of the room are of stone, and 
on a long table there is wine. His green hat trimmed with red 


lies on a bench.

Two lovers of an olden time are found at a rendezvous in a thick 
and ancient wood. The man, tall and erect, is facing the specta- 
tor, his head turned toward the lady, who standing at his left ap- 
pears with figure turned three-quarters from the observer and 
face in profile. They are near to the trunk of a large tree with 
far-reaching branches, and the wooer extends his right hand in 
indication of direction—his dog at his feet ready with him to 
start at once—while the lady hesitates, studying her upturned 
palm meditatively, her pet dog on its haunches at her side, looking 


attentively up at her.

figure is observed at the roadside further away. All are clad in 
dark colors. On the right is a tall building of ecclesiastical as-

Coming straight forward from around a bend in the middle dis- 
tance is a dark green canal, its surface lightened near the center 
by reflections of the sky. Back in the distance rises over it the 
mass of a city’s buildings, dominated by the truncated tower of 
a cathedral, spires and high gables projecting here and there and 
the buildings continuing forward along the canal’s edge on the 
right. Here also passes a man on horseback, towing a boat, the 
line hauling from the masthead; the opposite bank of the canal is 
thickly wooded. To right are low-lying cultivated fields and long- 


armed windmills.

In the reception corner of an artist’s studio, a prospective sitter, 
a lady in blue, is looking at colored plates from an album of beau- 
ties, and extends a detaining finger toward one picturing a tall 
and slender lady—she herself being short and plump. A lady in 
a plum-colored gown looks over her shoulder, and the quietly 
amused lady showing the pictures is in gray and brown. ‘The fur-

Trees and vines in a mass of greenery rise on the left at the end 
of a short stone bridge, masking its approach and throwing its 
base into shadow. To right delicate young trees sketch a leafy 
curtain against a light gray sky, along the line of the bridge, high- 
roofed buildings being seen beyond them in bright sunshine. Be- 
neath the bridge runs a brook, at the foot of a steep green bank, 
and on the nearer foreground shore are varicolored boulders.

moss-covered rocks on the border of a green meadow for an even- 
ing drink. A red cow facing left has her head lowered to the 
water and a white cow stands in the pool looking at the spectator. 
The little girl is clad in red and blue. In the green foreground 
at the water’s edge are spots of red amongst the verdure. On the 
far side of the pool trees with curiously twisted branches and open 
foliage stand as a screen, boldly silhouetted against the golden 
splendor of a brilliant sunset, the sky filled with light and many- 
tinted clouds.

the right. Her gown, broadly décolleté, is of rich and voluminous 
purple-gray and greenish-brown velvets, over brownish-gray, elabor-

The moon, at the full and bright, is heavily veiled by fleecy clouds. 
The orb is barely distinguishable behind their mass, but its radi- 
ance diffused in their vaporous substance lightens the cloud curtain 
before the deep dark blue sky. ‘The landscape below is dark in 
the shadows of night, streamers of the cloud-vapor hang low over 
wooded hilltops, like fog, and the moon’s light is reflected in a pool 
in the valley below.

suckle and roses, and stand out in relief against their own long — 
green leaves, in an informal bouquet held in a blue glass jar. The 
flowers are red, white, pink, blue and a brilliant soft yellow, and 
they overhang bunches of purple grapes relieved against green ivy 
leaves, lying on the mahogany-yellow coverlet of the table.

the ancient Dutch masters, showing one of the inclusive build-

none too plentiful. Around are various metal utensils, with spots 
of light gleaming amid surfaces of dark, rich patina. A small fire 
burns on the stone or earth floor. At the right a buxom young

(Water color.) 


An end of an humble European cottage room, full of color, is 
sympathetically pictured by an understanding admirer. ‘The yel- 
lowed, gray and smoky plaster is nicked, near a paneled door, from 
the red brick wall. Aloft are heavy gray beams; in a brown rack 
and on the floor are decorated plates and household utensils. At 
the left, against a background of tile with green, blue and aubergine 
notes, a young peasant woman in blue, plum-color and brown, with 
a red cap, is knitting with contented expression beside a brown 


table.

the concealed moon. ‘Toward the left are two houses—black 
shadows—a light gleaming from each, and on the right is a line

the moonlight, which touches a gua in the fields also just beyond 
the line of trees.

a black-hulled sailboat with green stern on the soft bottom in the

At the left a gray farmhouse stands between leafless trees, its
